/cmd_VEL topic is missing edit

hi ,

i have installed (again) Indigo with its default Gazebo as well as Hectorquadrotor link text. I cant find the topic /cmdvel in order to send a flying command. also , i did install ardroneautonomy plus tumsimulator and the same situation . here is a list of the topics when launching roslaunch cvg_sim_gazebo ardrone_testworld.launch according to link text:

Did you enable the motors as it says in the tutorial: rosservice call /enable_motors "enable: true"
